George and Davis' on Little Clarendon Street

George and Davis', George and Danver, and George and Delila, are three locations that comprise the ice cream chain G&D′s. The chain is located in Oxford, England.[1]

History

G&D's was founded in 1992 by two Oxford students, George Stroup and Davis Roberts, who gave their names to the original café in Little Clarendon Street.[2]

G&D's opened a second branch, George and Danver, on the corner of St. Aldates and Pembroke Street in 2001, which make a daily selection of baked goods. Both ice-cream and bakery items are cycled from shop to shop with "ice-cream bikes."

In 2007 a third shop, George and Delila, was opened on Cowley Road. It has become a venue for music events and informal concerts.[1]
